Th. "(erred to in than Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS Fuss, of Tnunton, in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts,

have invented a. new and improved Composition for Welding and Restoring Onshsteel; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the sumo.

This invention relates to a new composition, by the use of which cast-steel can be welded, and, should it have been overheated or burnt, restored to its former nature, and made cspable of being forged for the finest tools.

The compound consists of the following ingredients, which are compounded in about the proportions set forth, to wit:

Two ounces of bomx,

One ounce oi 'bluestonefl Two ounces of salt,

One-half ounce of rosin, and One quart of common sand.

The first-named four ingredients are powdered bcfore being mixed with the sand.

The composition is used in othercompounds for the same purpose; that is to say, it is heated before application, and sprinkled over thc steel, which is heated and hammered as required. Having thus described my invention,

I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 4 The composition for welding and restoring caststeel herein described.
